Last week, we asked you - our wonderful readers - to give Canadian songstress Julie Doiron some great recommendations for vegetarian food options. In return, we'd give the best choices a pair of tickets to her concert. You guys responded - and one of you even invited her over to your house for some home-made vegetarian cooking.
Where did Julie Doiron eat? (Plus where you can go veg too)

Shanghaiist has finally found a great local place to buy vegetarian bacon. We could have probably tracked it down much earlier if we had bothered to look properly, but we are still happy to be able to buy meat free bacon and sausages from Vegetarian Lifestyle on Songshan Lu.
Hao Niang Niang Vegetarian Restaurant: Come for the food, stay for the menu
In a former blogging life we crowned Vegetarian Lifestyle the best vegetarian restaurant in Shanghai. That may very well still be true — we just got an email from a vegetarian who agreed with our assessment — but we don't go there much anymore since we moved from the neighborhood ... and because we discovered a new vegetarian place right around the corner from our new apartment. Call us lazy, call us fickle — or better yet, call us French Concession loyalists.
